That's ok it's clearly needed to help the fish make it to their spawning grounds. They will open up pinks soon I'm sure will try then .

Wow!  I didn't think they were really going to do it but definitely for the best.  If the Sockeye are as fragile as they're making them out to be then a full closure is the right way to go.

Ok so that's what I was thinking bur wasn't sure.   So we actually do want to get out on the mouth and catch the pinks because Me and my friends are new to salmon fishing in the chuck.  Can we just use pink jigs and jig for them because I don't have a downrigger.   I'm thinking 20-40ft down if u find a school


When it opens, if they're still there, then that method will work like a hot damn for pinks. ;)

No. It is closed all the way to the mouth.

Still waiting for that first pink though...my luck with salmon this season has been dismal so far...

OK, now I am confused. I thought there was a complete closure on the Tidal Fraser at present.

It closed at 1 hour after dark on the 14th. Anyone fishing during the day on the 14th was fishing legally.
That's a fine looking high horse...
